"What do you need?"

"I need to purchase a bed for my dog."

"Ah, I see. Why does your dog need a bed?"

"To.....sleep in?"

"Oh. Then, might I suggest you look in the dog bed section?"

"Isn't that what I'm in?"

"No, sir. This is the California King sized section."

"So....the dog bed section?"

"No, sir. That's on the other side of the store. I'll take you there."

"No, no, no. I want this bed."

"You...want...a California King mattress...for your dog?"

"No. I want a dog bed."

"This isn't a dog bed, sir."

"Yes it is."

"Look, do you want to buy the bed or not?"

"Not if it isn't a dog bed."

"YES! IT'S A DOG BED!"

"Great! Then I'll take it!"

"All right. Your total will be..."

"Actually I want this little bed."

"That's a cat bed, sir."

"Nonsense. It's the perfect size for my chihuahua. I think the other bed was a tad too big."

"You were going to buy a California King mattress for a....chihuahua?"

"Yep. I want this bed instead."

"Um...ok. Your total will be $20."

"My goodness! That's way too pricy! I'm going to Walmart instead."
